1. Action Comics #1 – CGC 9.0 – $3.2 Million
Dominating the top spot on our list of the most expensive comic books in the world is Action Comics #1. CGC 9.0.
Viewed by many fans as being the “holy grail” of comic collectables, it features the debut of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s historic Superman.
While the original comic sold for just 10c back in the day, four copies have sold for more than a million dollars since then.
In 2014, this 9.0 CGC ranked copy sold for a massive $3.2 million dollars, making it the most expensive comic book in the world!
2. Action Comics #1 – CGC 8.5 – $1.5 Million
This comic shows just how much value is placed on a CGC ranking, and the difference half a point can make to the value of a comic book.
While it features the same material as the most expensive comic in the world, it falls short of first place because it’s grade indicates that it’s the general condition is not the best it could be. It might include creases or folds on the pages and small scuff marks on the cover, which all make a difference.
It’s all in the details!
3. Amazing Fantasy #15 – $1.1 Million
This 1962 comic book by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee, features another first appearance, but this time it’s – Spider-Man.
The web-slinging superhero is one of the world’s most cherished characters, so it was no surprise when the copy sold for over a million dollars at auction in 2011.
Amazing Fantasy #15 is the third most expensive comic book in the world!
4. Detective Comics #27 – $1,075 Million
Detective Comics #27 features the first appearance of the legendary Batman.
Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, this is one comic book that I’m sure all comic book lovers would want to own.
It was the most expensive book ever sold in 2010.
However, there is a lot of talk about a theoretical “better quality issue” being the most valuable comic book in existence, but one is yet to be found!
5. All-Star Comics #8 – $936,223
